Bible Note: Dear Johnny, Robert has given you a very good answer, but you still have the same question you have asked others. You said,"HE said the Father is Greater than He is". I agree that Jesus did say the Father is greater than He is. Johnny, would you agree that Jesus came into the existence of flesh to save us from our sins and to be our example of how we should live our lives? Jesus is Gods gift to us, not only to suffer for our sins but also to be an example of how a true child of the Living God is to live his or her life. You are Gods child and so am I, and we are told by Scripture to take the mind of Christ. God came in the flesh to be our example of how we are to live our lives as His children. Jesus, as the Son, is an example of you, Johnny, also a son of God. The only difference is Jesus is God and you are a son, but because your Father loves you so much, He died for you, wrote the Bible for you and has sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and teach you until He returns. There is ONE God, when you are one, it does not mean one of this and one of that, just plain and simple ONE. I hope this helps! Jesus does not lie, but we sometimes need to help each other look at another point of view and ask God in our prayers for wisdom and understanding according to His will. Bless you, Love Fountain |
